More about this scene

This once beautiful cove, in the parish of St Buryan, was somewhat spoiled in Victorian times by granite quarrying. A quay was built to receive vessels but the dangerous access curtailed the industry. The walk along the fern-fringed lane to the rocky beach is unforgettable. The Newlyn artists were enthusiastic visitors here.
